Crusaders Under-12s defeated Clevedon in the cup final after a penalty shoot-out.

WESTON Crusaders Under-12s finished their campaign with a well contested cup final against Clevedon at Yatton.

Despite the rain, both teams played some bright attacking football with Ben, Charlie and Snedds causing problems for the opposition in midfield. Ethan hit the crossbar from a free-kick and Churchill also went close, following a flowing passing move.

Clevedon also hit the woodwork and some excellent defending from Tom, Blondie and Joel, along with some good keeping from Lewis meant it was goal-less at the break.

Clevedon went ahead despite a great initial save from Harry. Reece came close to scoring before Ben crossed for Charlie to head the ball home. Extra time could not separate the two teams and the game was decided on penalties, with Harry saving the deciding penalty for a tense finish.

Another good pass by Frost was clinically finished by Milkins to make the half-time score 2-1.

The second half started with Portishead on the attack and Uphill defenders Alex Loveridge, Josh Thorne, Sam Calvert, Will Hillman and Sam Andrews resisted until they equalised again.

Milkins scored his fourth of the game before setting up Edwards for the fifth goal.

The Old Thatched Cottage joint players of the mMatch were Alex Loveridge and Cam Milkins.
